^^^You have forgotten everyone from The Crown. While I don’t think it will get nominated again in Drama Series, Foy has been snubbed many times before and this will be her last chance for The Crown. Wolf Hall, Little Dorrit and now The Crown, it’s too much.

In other news, Happy Valley returns in 2018, in time for the 2019 BAFTAs, where it will hopefully sweep a third time.

Yes, because it’s not aired yet. I’ve only listed the series which have aired/scheduled to premier on screens this week.

Definitely HARLOTS for a 2018 BAFTA! The acting was amazing, Samantha Morton’s Margaret Wells was inspired as were all the actors. The producers did the show justice, it was beautifully filmed. The topics were controversial but a true reflection on the World’s Oldest Trade! #harlotsfor2018bafta

Okay so don’t ask why but I was randomly browsing the BAFTA rules this year after seeing what date the TV noms were being announced this year and I realised they’ve made a big change:

The rules for the mini-series category, having always been described as any drama between 2 and 5 episodes regardless of intention to continue (see nominees like Doctor Foster), now describe ‘A drama series, between two and 19 episodes that tells a complete story and is not intended to return. e.g. The Night Manager, National Treasure, The Enfield Haunting’. Under this new rule recent drama series nominees/winners, like War and Peace or Wolf Hall, would have had to compete in mini-series like they did at the Emmys.

Not sure how I feel about it. It obviously makes much more sense given the category title but I’ve always liked how literal BAFTA were about what was classed as mini or drama series compared to US awards shows where we get so much fraud. I wonder how many series we’ll now see submit as mini-series and then go onto be renewed.
